found to be defective during the warranty period. This warranty only applies to
new Rata products.
Should the product fail as a result of a fault in material or sub-standard
workmanship by the manufacturer within the warranty period then Rata
Equipment will agree to repair this product subject to the conditions of this
warranty.
This warranty excludes any transport costs or damage and excludes all normal
maintenance costs.
Rata Equipment will not pay for mileage, freight, courier costs, oil, grease or
any other expendable materials.
As the use of the Rata product is outside our control, Rata Equipment accepts
no liability for lost earnings or down time directly or indirectly caused by the
machines performance.
Replacement parts provided under the terms of this warranty are covered for
the remainder of the warranty period applicable to the product in which they

No warranty work is to be started without first getting approval and following
the correct warranty procedures as set out by Rata Equipment. Rata Equipment
will not under any circumstances pay for or repair any damage caused by
misuse or neglect of any machine.
All warranty issues and claims are totally at the discretion of Rata Equipment.

belts, tyres, blades, tines, PTO shafts, disc bearings and hydraulic hoses, these
parts are generally not covered by this warranty.
Delivery
The machine is delivered fully assembled, however, before use carefully check
the entire machine for transit damage and report any problems immediately.
Maintance and Lubrication
Take care to keep the floor area clean when performing maintenance
to the machine. Help protect our environment and prevent injuries
from falls by cleaning up any spilled or leaking fluids with absorbent
products. Take care to dispose of contaminated rags or absorbents
in accordance with your local environmental regulations. Put away
tools and roll up any air lines or electrical cords that were used when
making repairs to the equipment and dispose of scrap materials or
worn out parts in an appropriate manner.
Never crawl under the machine to make repairs or adjustments or
replace parts, unless you have properly blocked and supported the
frame. The frame must be secured in a fixed position in order to
prevent it from moving or falling before making any attempt to work
underneath. Use suitable shop stands or lifting devices that can
support the entire weight of the machine. Never use cement blocks,
bricks, hollow tiles or other props that may crumble or collapse
under continuous load.
Wear gloves when changing points and/or tines as the edges can
become extremely sharp when worn.
Regularly check all nuts and bolts for tightness and secure if loose.
Replace worn out or damaged machine components.
Establish a good routine for regular inspection, lubrication and
maintenance in order to keep the machine in good operating
condition.
